back home in ny: maddie’s birthday party
Here are a few more shots from our vacation in NY. My sister Rahab (Rae) postponed Maddie’s birthday party so we siblings could all be there. Papa and Mimi didn’t make the party, so it ended up being our first family get-together without them. Which was a little strange, but still fun.
Zia was suspicious of the cake topping, and wasn’t sure if she wanted to eat paper.
After watching Maddie dig in, though, she lost all inhibitions.
The little girl on the right was a bit over the top. This is just after she doused Cash’s head with bubbles, poor guy. He didn’t think it was funny, but she definitely did.

Matt and Rae, the parents of the birthday girl.
My youngest sister Sarah and Gianna.
Franz (kid#8), Brianna, and Sawyer.
Sawyer is a total ham and very cute. He was happy and feeling better than he was at the zoo.
This dog came to crash the party.
Uncle Matt strumming Maddie’s guitar.
My brother Kirkie, the baby of the family. All tuckered out and full of cake.
